Tuesday Timbers Tidbits (06/29/2010)

The Portland Timbers, having won four of their last five matches, look to be returning to form. Still, until last weekend’s 2-0 defeat of Minnesota, the Timbers had not won a league match since April. Sunday night, with a 73rd minute goal by Bright Dike, they defeated the Tampa Bay Rowdies 1-0 for their second league win in a row.

In Timbers MLS crest debacle news, Pitch Invasion‘s Tom Dunmore summarizes the compromises. I think I’m done with the controversy myself – I don’t like the new crest much, but it could have been far worse. [And no doubt in a few years, a return to the “retro” logo will be announced – it’s all about selling merchandise!]
